Description

What do you think?

I think New Jersey would not be a very good team this season, but could be absolutley loaded for the future as I think Holtz is an elite goal scorer, Höglander can be solid, and Reichel is going under the radar. Then they also have the wingers they got last season

Maybe use the remaining cap space to get another D in.

They don't have any issues with the cap, as there is no one to sign next year except Gusev (Zajac and Baertischi would come off) and the year after, Subban, Schneider, Eriksson would all come off the books creating plenty of cap space.

Additional Details:

Taking the contracts of Baertschi and Eriksson is worth more than a 1st round pick and that is more or less what they can pay for Höglander

I think COL only does that deal if they miss out on Hall and Palmieri agrees to an extension

I think the devils would do every deal here. I would prefer to see Palmeiri resigned but I've come around on the idea of trading him if he's adamant about going to a contender at this point in his career. You really think the Avs would go for Hall this off-season?

I don't know, but maybe. I just think that Colorado is very close to winning a Stanley Cup and if they don't do so this year, I think they would push really hard the season after, as Makar and Landeskog will get new contracts after next season. But maybe yes.

I don't think the return is crazy, asJost struggles to make the lineup so far and the first round pick will probably be between 25-30.

However if the rumor of Chayka joining HBS (the duo that owns both the Devils and 76'ers) is true, I could not see them trading for an analytic nightmare like Risto lol
